Igor Ugolnikov

For the first time, viewers saw Igor Ugolnikov as a participant in the scandalous humorous program "Oba-na!" in the 90s. The artist was immediately remembered for his bold witticisms and the absence of fear of joking about things that, until recently, were talked about exclusively in sublime tones.

Igor Ugolnikov was born into an intelligent Moscow family of engineers in 1962. The boy grew up playful and disobedient and always did what he wanted, regardless of the authorities. Therefore, at school, Ugolnikov was given a place near the door, so that the bully's path to the exit from the class was minimal. In addition, Igor always sat in splendid isolation, so as not to spread the "infection of disobedience" to more disciplined classmates.

Igor Ugolnikov categorically did not like school and boring lessons. Therefore, the student paid them minimal attention and, whenever possible, ignored both one and the other. Most of all, the boy liked to play hockey and attend a theater studio. It was entertaining and fun there. Nobody scolded for long hair and liberties in clothes.

After graduating from school, Igor decided to go where he felt most comfortable - to art.

Ugolnikov easily entered GITIS, choosing the acting and directing department. In 1984, having received a diploma, the artist received a place in the troupe of the Moscow theater named after Nikolai Gogol.
